A Bad Week

Last week was a bad week in the weight loss war.  I didn’t get to hike at all.  My only option for getting outdoors would have been Saturday, during which it rained statewide all day.  I didn’t get into the gym but twice.  My work schedule was unusual, having to be up in the middle of the night to support off-hours changes.  My personal schedule required that I was home more than usual to cover sick children – the flu is going around.  My eating could have been better.  End result – slight weight gain.  Grr.

This is a new week, however, and I’m back at it.  Had a nice, light eating day yesterday and a good workout.  I might be able to sneak in a hike – hard to say as the weather looks questionable as the week progresses.  I’m hoping to do Sandwich Dome or possibly the Kinsmans.  Yesterday, the weather was naturally gorgeous as I was stuck in the office working for a living…hard to look at the bright sun from inside.

While I haven’t been able to use it much, I have new gear to report on and will be doing so in later posts.

• Black Diamond Trail Shock (trekking poles)
• Casio Pathfinder PAG80-1V (A/B/C watch)
• Outdoor Research Crocodiles (gaiters)
